The Secretary of the Board of Directors has bid me to make the following announcement:

The Imperial Estates meeting will be held telephonically on December 14, 2013.The Agenda for the Imperial Estates Meeting will be posted by October 30, 2013.The due date for all Agenda items is October 14, 2013.All proposed Agenda items must be mailed to ecsestates2013@gmail.com.All proposed Agenda items must be in Word or RFT format.Please note that the format for an Agenda item must include (1) the proposal, (2) the reason for the proposal, (3) where the modification is to be in the L.I. or other governing manual or body of rules (if applicable), and (4) an identification of who is proposing it.If you have any questions, pray speak with your governing territorial leader.

I would like to add the Arts Judging form with comments that is widely used in Vega to the Rules & Manuals section of the Imperial board. I know there are arts ministers who prefer the other forms, so I will not remove those (the "9-in-1" points form and the separate comments form). Does this need to be voted on at the Imperial Estates meeting?

Just a reminder for everyone, the deadline for submission of agenda items is in 7 days!

This is also an election year, if you are interested in one of the following positions please submit your Letter of Intent. As I recall, knighthood is preferred but not required, and for BoD positions you must be of the age of majority in your state.
